A Fresh Start to September
Good Day and a Happy Wednesday to you! September is here, and I finally felt well enough over the holiday weekend to fire up the grill.
- On Monday, I cooked my famous turkey breast wrapped in bacon on the Big Green Egg – it was delicious!
- Yesterday, I grilled brats on the Brownstone and even enjoyed a cold beer after weeks without one.
Sometimes, the small joys make life wonderful. 🎉
Gold and Silver: Breaking Records
XAUUSD has been on fire. On Monday, Sept 1, it hit a four-month high and was just \$23 away from all-time highs.
- Spot gold: \$3,477.56 per ounce
- Gold futures: \$3,547.70 per ounce
Silver wasn’t far behind, crossing \$40 per ounce for the first time since 2011.
By yesterday’s close:
- Gold: \$3,543 (+\$66)
- Silver: \$40.93 (buyers pushed it higher despite pressure)
Next stops? Many believe XAUUSD could push toward \$3,600 and silver toward \$50… and maybe even beyond.
The Dollar: Losing Its Shine
The dollar had a strange ride:
- On Monday, the BBDXY Dollar Index dropped to 1,198.
- By Tuesday, it bounced back to 1,207.
- This morning, it slipped again, showing weakness.
Bloomberg called the dollar a “safe haven” during the global pullback in stocks and bonds. But many traders disagree – and see gold and silver as the true safe havens.
Oil & Bonds: The Other Movers
- Oil: Trading above \$65, after briefly touching the \$64 range earlier this week. But whispers of a possible supply glut are causing some caution.
- 10-Year Treasury Yield: Currently around 4.27%. It’s used as a key benchmark for mortgages and loans, so it matters for everyday people.
Big Concerns Ahead
Here are some things to watch:
- Fed Losing Independence?
- Reports suggest the White House may want more control over interest rate decisions.
- If that happens, inflation risks could rise much faster.
- Student Loans Struggle
- Repayment problems are growing. While it’s not the same as the 2008 housing crash, history shows small cracks can snowball.
- Emerging Market Debt
- Many countries are moving from dollar-denominated debt to Chinese renminbi.
- This could reduce global demand for U.S. dollars.
U.S. Economic Data to Watch
This week is packed with reports:
- Today: Factory Orders, Job Openings, Fed Beige Book
- Thursday: ADP Employment Report, Trade Deficit
- Friday: U.S. Jobs Report (BLS numbers)
Each of these could shake markets and push gold/silver even higher.

FAQs
Q1: Why is XAUUSD rising right now?
XAUUSD is rising due to expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts, a weaker dollar, and growing inflation concerns.
Q2: Why did silver cross \$40 after so many years?
Silver is catching up with gold’s rally. Industrial demand plus investor buying pushed it over \$40 for the first time since 2011.
Q3: Is the U.S. dollar still a safe haven?
Some analysts like Bloomberg still call it a safe haven, but many traders argue gold and silver are more reliable during global uncertainty.
Q4: What could push XAUUSD above \$3,600?
A weaker dollar, lower interest rates, and higher inflation could quickly send gold to new all-time highs.
Q5: Should investors worry about student loan defaults?
Yes, while not as severe as the 2008 housing crisis, growing defaults could spill into other sectors, adding financial stress.
